In honor of my 100th post...100 things/facts about me. When i started blogging I didn't think I would ever become this addicted to it! I started doing it to stay in touch with my sister in California and her family. Now I have become addicted and can't wait to read every one's posts. Suppers have become later, work has become a problem trying to fit into my blog reading, my kids haven't haven't bathed for months now...(i am totally joking here), my boyfriend thinks i am having a Blog affair....what did I ever do before "My Blog"?

So, thank you to all who read my blog faithfully and show me comment love. Alot of you...well all of you but 2... I don't personally know but things you have said have certainly made an impact....just when I need a little boost or some sound advice...you are all there...and I thank each and every one of you!!

I hate drinking water

I hate dieting

When I was younger I used to make a sandwich with chicken of the biscuit crackers, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard and dill pickles....I still to this day make it and still love it!

I used to wonder why my mom would look at me with a disgusted look and ask "are you about done?", whenever we would eat chips or something in the living room when we were little...now that I am a mom i know why...that crunching sound! ugh!!

I never had a detention, Saturday school or anything throughout my grade school/HS career!

When I was 21 I got a tattoo on my ankle. An aunt offered me $100.00 NOT to get it...I should have taken the $100.00!!!

When I was about 17 I locked my keys in my car about 3 times in a matter of weeks. Once my spare set was even in the car...needless to say my dad was not happy with me.

Growing up my parents hardly ever really fought. But I can remember 2 yelling matches/fights very clearly to this day. And I can remember my sister and I sitting in our bedroom talking about who we would live with if they got divorced! haha...all because of a silly little fight!

I can remember the first time i ever heard my mom drop the "F" bomb!!

I would love to take a photography class

Sometimes I wish I could come home to an empty house, be lazy, do what I want, watch what I want, eat what i want when i want....is that selfish?

Although I believe in God and pray every night before i go to sleep, I don't got to church on Sundays like I did as a child and growing up...sometimes I feel guilty about that.

If I ever won the lottery I would make sure that my immediate family is taken care of and I would donate $ to breast cancer research.

This was really harder than I thought it would be!

Now you know about all there is to know about me!! I am looking forward to another 100 posts with all of you!!

Holy crap!! You're good!! i don't think i could come up with 100 things. Congrats on your 100th post. I'm not sure i could get to 100. I'm already running out of things to write about...lol. And the things I could write about would probably not go over well.

Doesn't that 100th post just sneak up on ya? I nearly missed mine, never checking my tally, and suffering from verbal diareah (yes it does effect blogging as well!)..I love learning how much I have in common with other bloggers

I love these lists because you learn such a lot about someone in such a short space of time. And no 4 is also m,y favourite (And I spell this wrong because I live in South Africa and we do British english here, not American) We also spell "Colour"

Happy SITS day today!I'm with you; I spend way too much time on my arse, fb'ing and blogging. When not on the computer I read, so I'd love to know; what were your 6 books in a month?Oh..and that sandwich you love - whoa! Enjoy one today, with a great, big fountain soda, and CONGRATS.

Cool list, thanks for sharing. I went to nursing school, too. I only worked as a nurse for about six years, then quit. I miss the money, though, not the stressful, understaffed hospital stuff. And, chocolate and peanut butter rocks! Seriously, I just ate like four Reese's peanut butter eggs yesterday.

Congrats on 100 posts! If I would have become addicted to blogging when I posted my first story in March 2007, I would be at 100 posts too! :) But I just became totally addicted after the first of this year. You are right... I feel like I am fitting everything else around blogging, but I love it!

I was married twice also, and not proud of it (also). 3rd time's the charm in my case, I have THE most wonderful man and love him to death. Sometimes we need to grow up, and I finally did.

I lived my life in Ohio and moved a crazy amount of times like you for awhile, something like 9 times in as many years, then finally bought a small house in Akron and lived there 16 years. Moved to Kansas last July to be with my hubby, and I've never regretted the move... I love it here, EXCEPT I miss my son!

Your girls may be young still, my son is 27 and married, but I see a mirror of myself in you. In that case, I will tell you, the best is yet to come! :)

This was a great idea - 100 on your 100th. (I might steal the idea :) It's amazing how lists like these make you feel close to someone you have never met and still have so much in common. Happy SITS day.

Wow, congrats on reaching 100 posts and being able to come up with 100 things about yourself. I had that Facebook meme where I had to list 25 things and I struggled to think of that many things about myself!

WOW! I like that. I am from Canton Ohio. Nice to meet you. Congrats on your sits. I have been thinking about Auburn. And $100 for NOT getting one, I would have taken it to. Your parents marriage success, I wish I could say the same :( It is something to be proud of!!!

Its funny those weird things you eat when you are little that you still eat! I still eat "flying saucers"....bologna, with mashed potatoes and grated cheese on top. My dad would make them whenever mom wouldn't cook!

I'm TOTALLY a pen snob too! When I have a job, I bring my own pens in because I don't like using the crappy ones they provide. I also like to color with crayons/colored pencils and love Dover coloring books. Happy 100 posts!
